PART 9. FRIDAY MORNING.
She has no clue what's wrong with her, but she was determined to do a good job today. Farrah thought perhaps a soak would make her feel better, help whatever sickness those mysterious lights caused, go away quicker. And then she'd be back to normal and be able to better concentrate on her career.
If only her stomach would settle down!
Today is Love Day, but Farrah doesn't feel much like dating, or even flirting. Besides, her tummy was still acting strange. But she did have fun crashing the engineer class, and afterwards ate an excellent grilled cheese sandwich that she'd packed and took with her to the commons.
Farrah is a foodie, but normally she makes healthy choices when it comes to food. Eating junk and sweets only when she is really, really craving it. Today she was craving it. So after she did some tinkering at the Robotics station she bought a very sweet, white cake and enjoyed every bite of it.
Love Day. Why did this Friday have to be Love Day?
When Farrah ate her excellent grilled cheese that day, she'd sat next to the Loner, Lilith. Whom, thankfully didn't seem to mind. Also at the table was Jakob Huang, who also (of course) ws unemployed, yet he was married.
She never met his wife, but while she was sitting there, eating, his wife walked over and she had to watch the happily married couple celebrate Love Day. And pretend the site didn't bother her at all.
No one seemed to notice there was anything wrong with Farrah that day.
Well it is possible that Lilith suspected something was wrong after Farrah complained to her about Love Day after the happily married couple walked away.
The alien Humberto Olson sent her a text while she was napping, to invite her to join him at the Spice Festival. She didn't go.Even if she'd had the energy she wouldn't have gone because the way her tummy was feeling, she was sure the spicy food would have caused her to throw up.She'd also received an invite from Lilith to join her at the Lounge and enter a talent contest. If Farrah had been awake, she would have accepted that invitation because Lilith being a Loner, she assumed it hadn't been easy for her to invite her.
After her nap, Farrah did more work at the Robotics station. Just kept going through the motions, pretending everything was alright.But she couldn't keep pretending she was alright, and when everyone was gone she went into one of the bathroom stalls and cried.
At home she woke up a few minutes before 4 am, very angry. But her mood changed as she ate a grilled cheese while watching TV. Farrah still didn't know what was wrong with her. Her tummy still felt strange, and it was huge. Her emotions were all over the place. She'd be angry one moment, inspired the next, then sad and feel like crying another moment.
Her life just wasn't the same after her abduction.
